HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Jennifer Love Hewitt may be feeling more confident about her body these days, but that doesn't mean she can't dream about trading figures with some fellow stars.
"I'd want to have Gisele Bundchen's body. Even though she's tall and skinny, she does have curves … and I think that's hot," the 31-year-old actress tells People for its latest issue. "Halle Berry also is kind of amazing."
Hewitt says her body has come a long way since December 2007, when she fired back at the tabloids for criticizing her bikini figure at the time. The incident led to her taking a step back as she got "over the embarrassment of the photos."
"I just really worked on my mental part for a couple of weeks, got myself in a really good mindset," she recalls.
Hewitt responded by cutting her beloved donuts out of her diet. She also hit the workout circuit with passion. "I think I'm a work in progress," she says now. "[But] I feel it's so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it's going to be so much better than it is today."
Still, the Ghost Whisperer star hasn't forgotten all the criticism, hence why she's still urging young women to embrace their curves.
"When I meet young girls, I'm always like, 'Just do me one favor,' " she says. "Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it's the greatest gift I can give."
